BabelFish posted:Thanks for all the suggestions! The point is you have a shaman around for when he's not around and drop the shaman when he is. Bard slow just won't be the same. The alternative comedy option is you end up keeping the 2nd mage and what you're left with is a really good pbaoe group (cleric/wiz/mag/mag) with the bard keeping aggro with Selo's Assonant Strane. It's possible this tactic is nerfed on TLP so buyer beware! edit: I would stick with the shaman, personally. You want to keep SK in this config for hassle free snare, btw. milkman dad fucked around with this message at 01:23 on May 20, 2021 |

Republicans posted:I wonder how much avatar proc weapons will go for on the new servers considering how braindead easy it is to farm them. I believe the avatar proc from primals counts as worn attack so is currently subject to the 250 worn attack cap (at least in PoP). Most meeles will get over 150 worn attack from items as they get elemental/time geared so the benefits of the primal will go down, and I think a lot of people can't be bothered already. I'll probably dump the primal in GoD.

If there's one fact I've learned from playing several TLPs it is this: people will pay truly stupid money for gear. I'd expect primal fistwraps and bows to be like 15+ krono for the first month of velious. The others will probably be around 5 krono. The amount of money to be made off whales on this server will be absurd, especially if you box huge numbers.

I've been getting my multi-box setup ready for next week and I discovered that the HotKeyNet domain/website appears to have expired and now redirects to an awesome self-actualization website. Unfortunately, I'm trying to find documentation on how to use the software since all of my old scripts were on a hard drive I wiped last year and I can't reference them any more. I was able to find a copy of the software on one of my boxes but no scripts to be found. So far I've just found a few threads on dual-boxing.com with some example WoW scripts I can maybe piece things together with, if anyone has some sample HotKeyNet scripts for multiple PCs playing on a TLP would they mind PMing me? Thanks! Also do the latest versions of Multiplicity suck or is it just me? I don't remember connection issues being so common ~2 years ago (version 3.4?) when I last used it. Still using the same PCs and switch and everything but I find my mouse/kb get stuck on other machines pretty frequently, requiring a logout of the main PC via ctrl-alt-del. Edit: vv PM sent!

So I am going to run a 2nd box in laziest way possible. I have a tablet with a keyboard dock that can run EQ just fine. It's small enough I can put it right in front of my keyboard and hit a couple of buttons easily. What's a good combo that doesn't take a ton of button presses? I was thinking a Mage on the tablet and a druid on my main pc. Mage seems like you could get by with just a /pet attack macro or maybe one nuke and then /sit. Any other easy combo out there? Monk on the pc/druid on the tablet might not be bad either. edit: Also they are launching two TLP's at once apparently? Mischief and Thornblade? Where are you all playing?

Oh my god. I had the wrong account and I just discovered where my old main was hiding. I’m sure this is insanely bad now, but behold, Callwin the 65 Druid from yesteryear!   Double PotCabbage earrings, my Epic is in one of the bags, the clicky is the Phylactery with the MP/HP regen clicky. So many memories. OMG my Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl! Edit: Holy poo poo I had a redhead bard alt named after the first girl I ever really dated. Having so much fun checking all my alts.

I had some weird pieces equipped for the focuses while soloing that might throw you. Bard alt had the Iksar and Erudite masks plus the Werewolf illusion lute. Druid had all the Grandmaster tradeskill tools in the bank from making it to the “1750 club”. 56 Froglok Shaman alt had all the toys like a Jaundiced Bone Bracer. Nostalgia overload!

Changed my mind - I'm going to have a go on the Mischief server. I want a class where I can get a coffee without killing the group and that people would actually want in a group. So leaning towards either Bard, Magician or Ranger. Downside of the Bard is they are crippled on mezzing half-way through Kunark until Luclin (unless you get the ancient mez in NToV). Downside of the Mage is epic is mandatory and can be a swine. Then again, the cloak and phinny drop will be tradeable and may not even drop off those mobs any more... Ranger has decent dps, easy epic, but doesn't bring anything unique. Think I'm more leaning towards either the Bard or Mage...

Bard. No contest. Mezzing as a bard is not nearly as critical as it was once seen. You’re more often wanted for the ability to twist haste/overhaste, mana song, damage shields, ac song, and eventually proc songs to augment melee dps. In the mid expansions you get some caster specific buffs that make them real interesting for caster groups. My guild on Mangler: 54 mains raiding current content, no splits. We’d take 2, maybe 3 of any int caster. 2-3 Rangers, probably not much more than that, and we’d field 8 bards without batting an eye. They’re finicky, they can’t DoT kite or charm kite like they used to, there’s a billion clickers you’ll want to get, and the epic has some truly lovely bottlenecks, but they’re hands down the better choice if you want to be wanted. If you want to be left alone and rack up cash, or have a good group to pal around with, Mages are fantastic; but they’re not bards.

Looking at the list of recruiting guilds on the official forums it's looking like I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and join some guild with no attendance requirement and resign to only raiding once a week. Lotta guilds raid on wednesday or thursday but not both and almost all raid on sunday which is the day I'm basically out of the house from 11:30am to 10:00pm PST. Not a single midnight raiding guild and all the mid-day/euro guilds start about an hour too late or raid on days I go in early.rr

I'm pretty excited for Mischief, I think the Random Loot will fix some of the dumb issues of camps always being taken and cause people to explore a bit more to find those out of the way rares. That said I'm gonna be rollin a DE Enchanter and looking for some peeps to run with, gotta make the most out of my 2 days of PTO.

Doctor Party posted:Twisting not required. Melody is enabled. But either way i think he meant twist songs via melody. Correct. Twisting via melody, although keeping several different spell configurations that you can quickly swap between for different group types is like 300iq level barding and would set you apart from the plebs and box bards with one-size-fits-all song sets. If you don’t know what I’m talking about : melody uses the spell gem number to designate your rotation. (I.e. */melody 1 2 3 4* would just twist the first 4 songs on your spell bar. If you were in a melee group you might want something like haste, overhaste, AC song, damage shield/resists. But if you’re in a caster group you might want spell focus, spell haste, mana song, resist song. You can save two sets of songs, both of them with gems 1-4 using the two different configurations, and use the same hotkey to toggle them on. Furthermore you can make hotkeys that mem the new spell set in seconds, so for the price of 3 hotkeys on your bar, you can have quick swap spell sets and your melody button and quickly adapt to different grouping setups. This also leaves songs 4-8 for Selos, occlusion, Mez, charms, etc. The new “twisting” is more about having optimized song sets for situations and being able to swap easily to perform multiple roles as the raid comp, group makeup, or event mechanics require.

ist posted:My 6box comp is somewhat similar. I've been playing around with it more and I think I'm also going to end up starting with SK + CLR + ENC + DRU + MAG + BRD. Likely replacing the DRU + MAG with some kind of physical DPS later on. I managed to pack my 1x6 monitor layout into a 2x3 and it makes me way more comfortable with the idea of charm DPS, which lets me get away with way more utility, at least for the first few expansions. koreban posted:As for software kvm, I use InputDirector. It’s not without its own quirks, some of which are nonstarters for some folks, but I don’t have networking or reliability issues with ID like multiplicity seems to have. Does InputDirector allow me to define specific keys to never be shared? Multiplicity is doing everything I need of it so far (though the multi-monitor support in InputDirector would be very nice) but I'm using an array of numpads as quick hotkey banks for the individual clients, and I want the numpad hooked up to the driver PC to stick to that PC regardless of where the rest of the keyboard/mouse input is going.

So, I do something similar but I approach it differently. I don’t use input director on my main driver pc. I use the next easiest box to reach as my input director master. It’s on a laptop, so keyboard is baked in, and I just have one extra mouse on my desk that I can drive to the other PCs. I have the same sort of 2x3 setup, and my main driver is bottom-center, the master is bottom left, and the movement mirrors the layout, so I go up to the next pc, then right across the array. It takes a little getting used to, but it’s intuitive and I never have a problem with my boxes mucking up my SK.

I have the same sort of 2x3 setup, and my main driver is bottom-center, the master is bottom left, and the movement mirrors the layout, so I go up to the next pc, then right across the array. I tried doing what I was hoping by making a keybinding of all the number pad keys on the director to the number pad keys on the director, but that appears to just eat the keystrokes entirely, probably ends up in an infinite input loop before timing out. Looks like the solution is just going to be to insure that my 'driver' character (probably the SK most of the time) is on the driver PC. Input Director does the stuff I really wanted one of these KVMs to do, which is to support multiple monitors on a single PC intelligently, and handle mouse transitions between monitors of multiple resolutions by calculating mouse position as a percentage of the monitor's total size. But it's got some real quirks when it comes to mouse movement (the director gets mouse look input even when controlling the client PCs). I've still got my old Multiplicity setup, it's disabled for now, but I think I'll end up going back to it. For reference, here's what my hardware setup ended up looking like (numpads in 3x2 grid, in the same layout as the monitors they control. Each is a different color, the camera didn't pick up the differences very well.):   Now I understand how people use follow to line up melee characters, works surprisingly well when I can just bang out a hotkey that auto-follows, assists, and starts auto-attacking.

I’ve been using Microsoft Garage Mouse. It works well and is free. The one thing I don’t think it does is have dedicated specific key to specific computer options, but the mouse/keyboard transitions to multiple screens very well. I’m just using a 2 box setup so I don’t need anything too fancy.

So for those of us new to TLPs, when does Mischief launch? Is it one minute after midnight or a set time on the 26th? After a week of playing around on the free servers I think the plan is to go Druid to start for a couple months. Then maybe I can add a box or two once I’m more comfortable. Kite a few mobs, charm a few aminals and smash em together, maybe make a little plat. Is the overflow server worth considering at all? I’m guessing it’s population will drop like a rock once the initial rush on Mischief dies down.

I'll probably still do Thornblade tho I guess cuz there's a few even more annoying names I remember from Mangler that are going to Mischief. Don't really see any tempting guilds to join from the list so i dunno

The interest in the new server is way higher than I've seen in any progression server for a long time - probably since Agnarr. I'd recommend people don't claim their bags until the servers stabilise incase theres a rollback. You could get them again via a support ticket but that could take days...
